In Grandi Annate

Toscana I.G.T. Sangiovese 2018


The In Grandi Annate is only produced during the best vintages. The philosophy behind this wine is to highlight the best traits of Sangiovese from Tuscany. This wine is a keeper. Lay it down, wait and enjoy it later due to its fantastic ageing potential.

The In Grandi Annate 2018 amazes with its intense fragrance and enveloping notes of rose petals, undergrowth, wild strawberry and liquorice. The palate is rich and luxurious. The cherry flavour dominates the mouth, accompanied by a subtle creamy vanilla aftertaste. A true ambassador of its habitat, giving balance and elegance to a slight acidic start.

The sediments you might find in this wine show that it is made of pure Sangiovese with minimal intervention. The deposit is due to its high content of a natural antioxidant called quercetin, which is perfectly safe. This is not a flaw, it is a characteristic of the pure Sangiovese.
